A NON-WORKING scale model of a turbofan... can't forget that $2M was spent on a non-working scale model of an engine that doesn't cost much more than that to buy off-the-shelf.
Seems to me the biggest issue with the whole idea of cell phones causing brain tumors is that cell phone companies have a lot of money, and trial lawyers would like to take it from them.
Ron Paul is not anti religion in government - he is simply pro HIS religion in government
Ron Paul is not anti-War. He is for war as long as it is against Israel, and he has even voted for funding Hamas "to make the playing field level." (which is of course french for "to help eliminate Israel").
They have to halt trading to prevent automated trading programs from selling it down to zero.
Once there's a fast enough and large enough movement, you start getting more selling from automatic stop-loss orders, automatic short selling, and all kinds of nasty things.
The idea of a trading halt is to prevent computer programs from destroying the economy in milliseconds. Garbage in, garbage out, you know.
My wife had to get a CT scan to investigate her liver. I went with her and was able to see the machine and its operator while she was having the scan done.
Not only did the CT machine run Windows (XP), but the operator was surfing the web on it during the procedure, checking her hotmail and facebook.
I thought welfare was about putting food in peoples' mouths so they wouldn't go hungry? If they can tie welfare to attendance, then the welfare must not be that necessary, huh?
Another baby step along the road to condition us to accept permanent RFID tagging from birth and constant tracking and surveillance by the State, for our own good and safety, of course.
I tried to enjoy the Fall for Greenville festival over the weekend. Now, Greenville is quite a progressive city, so I was hoping to simply have a good time sampling new restaurants and enjoying a nice day out.
Then, I saw them. The large crosses being tugged around. The megaphones. The people standing on park benches. Uh oh. The evangelicals.
You couldn't walk 100 feet down Main st. without being accosted by some fanatical wizard-worshipping numbnut pushing a bible or end-of-the-world fantasy in your face.
We don't get snow or ice here very often - once in a blue moon. But, there's nothing wrong with driving when weather conditions don't permit riding. I have an indoor trainer just to get the exercise on such days.
I don't care if he was Neil Armstrong. Being an Astronaut or an accomplished skydiver does not necessarily make you a good ground controller. His performance was reckless, inattentive, and unprofessional.
The step was to close the visor and increase the visor heat to full (and a third step that was not intelligible in the audio), which the controller said had already been done.
In any case, you don't tell someone to skip steps in a procedure, period. It is also not a good idea to do more than one thing in one step, yet many of the steps in their checklist had numerous tasks - I counted FOUR tasks in one of the checklist steps.
Am I the only one who thought that idiotic ground controller was going to get him killed?
Between advising him to skip a vital step in the checklist, and being incapable of responding to his repeated requests for an accurate weather report on the way down, it's amazing he made it down unscathed.
You could even hear people screaming at him to get his shit together in the background when he told the jumper to skip the step in the checklist, and when he repeatedly gave him incorrect weather information.
The heater in his visor failed and he couldn't see anything. They'd had problems with it on the way up but stupidly decided to jump anyway.
When it fogged up he couldn't see, and must have decided to pull the chute because he couldn't get that crazy old fart on the ground to tell him how much time he had left.
That idiot ground controller blew the whole jump by being completely inept, inattentive, and generally idiotic.
Even after he pulled the chute, he could not even get a competent wind report from ground - the first reports were just wrong, and you could hear someone SCREAMING at him to correct it in the background.
Oh, and the ground controller also advised Baumgartner to skip a step in the checklist, thinking it must have already been done, and you could hear someone SCREAMING at him in the background for that, too, after which they executed the step in the checklist.
I am quite frankly amazed that he survived his jump, honestly, with the incompetence of that idiotic controller.
Ten years, and not because of gas prices, but because it's fun, and healthy.
In 1999, I was 250lbs, had cholesterol over 300, moderate to severe hypertension, and was pre-diabetic. I was taking medications for all, and additional medications for other complications that were the result of my Americanized lifestyle.
It started with walking to work, 3 miles each way. Then expanded into running 5Ks, and eventually cycling.
Now, I'm 165lbs, and not on any medications, with normal vitals across the board. I ride my bike to work at least 3 days per week, usually going far enough out of my way to ride 30-40 miles every day - and 60-70/day on weekends.
I think it's a travesty to sell cycling to work as a solution to a temporary problem, because people will quit the moment the problem goes away, or there is some other reason not to. Living an active lifestyle that includes daily exercise and human-powered commuting also helps solve America's obesity problem (and spiraling-out-of-control health costs) permanently. It's a shame more people won't pick it up, and that we can't bring ourselves to design towns and cities to allow for it.
It costs far less to add 3 feet of bike lane to a road than it does to treat 1000 cases of advanced diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer, and other life-ending diseases. The government and the taxpayer have a vested interest in policies that facilitate people being healthy when they reach Medicare age - not to mention the people themselves who still have to pay a heavy price for their lack of health.
You know, it's practically impossible to make a CPU consume its TDP. You do know that, right?
TDP is simply the thermal rating of the CPU package with the OEM cooling device. That's how much power you are allowed to dissipate before exceeding the maximum junction temperature of the processor.
Sitting there typing email, it is unlikely your CPU is consuming more than a couple of watts. If you max out all cores with perfectly optimized code that exercises 100% of the CPUs resources, you MIGHT get it to dissipate something close to 70% of TDP, since the chip is usually designed with plenty of thermal margin to account for degradation in the cooling device over time.

Cell phone emissions do not cause cancer. Period.
I heard it took TheOatmeal all of 5 minutes to post a 47-screen-long comic cutting this guy to shreds because someone compared him to Edison.
I've had good results playing 3D games under ESXi with a dedicated GPU passed to the guest using VM DirectPath.
Virtualbox, not so much.
In short, none.

Unbelievable.
still have a moon?
If you don't want to buy this service, DON'T BUY IT.
Buy yourself an OTA Receiver and DVR platform and record it yourself.
i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet
This will revolutionize the porn game industry... imagine what the controllers could do with this technology.
How many did you have to buy to get one to fail?

This is the most transparent administration in history, remember?
Obvious left-wing troll is obvious.
Somebody mod parent up.
Seriously.

No, sorry, it is not a re-enactment. He just went for a supersonic flight as a passenger.
